Richard Blumenthal was born on February 13, 1946 in Brooklyn, New York. His home city is Greenwich, Connecticut. He attended JD, Yale University Law School, Bachelor's, Harvard University. Politically he was the Attorney General, State of Connecticut, 1990-present . He was Senator, Connecticut State Senate, 1987-1990 Representative,Connecticut State House of Representatives, 1984-1987
Political Issue Concerns: Same-sex Marriage:
Richard Blumenthal believes that same-sex marriage is okay and it should be in Connecticut. " Civil unions performed in other states are entitled to full faith and credit in Connecticut...Out-of-state same-sex have no legal force and effect here (Richard Blumenthal)."
Foreclosure:According to copies of letters I’ve reviewed, Blumenthal instructs servicers to “treat all occupants of foreclosed properties as bona fide tenants, unless there is credible evidence to the contrary.” The letters also ask lenders to “refrain from treating the mere failure to respond to a notice as evidence that the occupant is not a bona fide tenant.”
Goal: To Get rid of foreclosures.
Linda Edwards McMahon:
Linda McMahon was born on October 4, 1948 and is an American corporate executive noted for her career managing World Entertainment. The Republican nominee in the 2010 race for U.S Senator from Connecticut. With her husband Vince McMahon she managed the WWE from its establishment in 1980 until 2009, building it from a small regional company into a billion-dollar international organization. McMahon stepped down from her position as CEO in September 2009 to launch her Senate Campaign.
Political Issue Concerns: National Security: Linda thinks that we should have a secure security. "Our troops have to know that were are committed to their success(Linda McMahon)." This is a belief of Republicans that we should keep our troops in war.
Goal: Send the troops home!
Minimum Wage:"The minimum wage now in our country, I think we've set that, so there are a lot of people have benefited from it in our country, but I think we ought to review how much it ought to be, and whether or not we ought to have increases in the minimum wage," McMahon said at a press conference.
Goal: Review minimum wage and whether it should be lowered or raised.
• I think Richard Blumenthal won because he kept his professionalism throughout the whole election. McMahon was not taken as seriosly because she has a past with television and faking things. She did not put out her ideas as wide as Blumenthal did. She had her speeches but unfortunetly did not meet her standards when it came to reaching out to the people. Blumenthal stayed focused.

• This has the actual scale of how the election is going. So far is seems as though McMahon cannot get her views to be seen as well as Blumenthal.

• In Connecticut, it seems as though Blumenthal will always have the lead. He is the Democrat in the whole election and it has been said that more Democrats are winning the elections than Republicans. He is winning by 9.2%. The charts are the same just opposites, which does not look good at all for McMahon.
The Result:
